Several crucial bugs that allow you to use The Commonwealth as a playground have been preserved in the Fallout 4 next-generation update.
With Fallout 4‘s next-generation update encouraging higher resolution and 60 frames per second compatibility for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, Bethesda has been pushing for this game series, primarily because the Fallout TV show has been a huge success in increasing sales of the genre.
The Fallout 4 next-generation update has disappointed some fans, despite being a welcome addition. While this has improved the game’s performance, a lot of third-party content has been lost, and Xbox achievements are broken in addition to destroyed modded save files.
Nonetheless, given that they remain in the game even after the updates, a few incredibly useful bugs must have been stashed away in a vault while Bethesda revealed the big reveal. Since it’s a Bethesda game, they find charm in errors.
The Dogmeat Cryolator glitch in Vault 111 is one example of such a glitch. Dogmeat will jam the gun’s casing if you bring him back into Vault 111 and instruct him to retrieve nearby items. He will have 200 ammunition and the Cryolator in his arsenal, ready to trade for some excellent early-game firepower.
Even while it’s useful, the glitch isn’t really exciting and won’t have foes fleeing for their lives. Fortunately, there is yet another bug in the game that makes you become a powerful natural force that even the Enclave cannot match, instead of just a resilient wasteland survivor.
Fans interested in attempting some genuine firepower-wielding should be made aware of the flaw that can convert almost any weapon into a mini-nuke-firing machine gun. Normally, in the wasteland, you’d need a Fat Man to administer some serious nuclear hurt.
This particular bug does need some investment, some perks (the “Gun Nut” and “Science!” perks must be fully utilized), and crucial timing in order to glitch out the Weapon Station’s construction menu.
Make sure your preferred weapon and the Fat Man are placed next to each other in the weapon modification menu, with the former being above the latter.
Throwing Out the Fat Man If this exploit is executed correctly, the Fat Man modding menu will glitch onto the new gun just before you hit the modify button on the second weapon, allowing you to use Fat Man mods on regular weapons.
You may unleash a second nuclear catastrophe by equipping a weapon like the Overseer’s Guardian with the Mirv launcher mod for the Fat Man. This weapon fires an extra projectile while shooting, as demonstrated in the video above. Just keep it out of the house.
We don’t anticipate a patch for these bugs anytime soon because they have been there since the game’s release and have withstood the consequences of the next-generation update like a radroach.
